Stop whatever you’re doing—because this proposal might just be the most romantic thing you’ll see all week. Film producer Femi Dapson pulled off the ultimate love gesture for his girlfriend, fashion and beauty influencer Simi Sanya, and it was the kind of moment that felt straight out of a Nollywood-meets-rom-com fantasy.
Picture this: soft red and pink flowers everywhere, candlelit ambience, and a giant glowing neon sign that reads, “Dear Simi, Would you be mine forever?” And then enters Femi, dressed in crisp white, holding roses and wearing the kind of nervous-but-sure smile you only see when someone is about to pour their heart out.
And pour it out, he did.
“I’ve lost so many opportunities in life because I’ve been shy to talk to people,” Femi began. “But the one opportunity I don’t want to miss is the chance to spend the rest of my life with you.”
By this point, Simi was already in tears—and so were most people watching. Then came the moment: he dropped to one knee and asked the big question. Her answer? A breathless, joy-filled: “Yes, yes I will marry you!”
As if the moment couldn’t get any more cinematic, Johnny Drille stepped out and sang Hallelujah, Simi’s all-time favorite love song, live. That’s right—an actual live serenade from one of Nigeria’s top soul singers, soundtracking the proposal of a lifetime.
Simi later took to Instagram to share the magic with her followers, writing, “Serenaded by the best—Johnny Drille singing my all-time favorite love song. I couldn’t have dreamed this up.”
And let’s not skip over the ring—it was dazzling! A perfectly cut sparkler that sat on her finger like it always belonged there.
This wasn’t just a proposal. It was a story. A memory. A reminder that even in a world of distractions, true love still shows up in flowers, lyrics, and bold declarations.
